Join us for a dinner where we do all the cooking! Each month we open the doors between our classrooms and seat 40 guests for a five-course family-style spread, featuring all the ingredients we’re excited about. This spring The Pantry is thrilled to host a Pakistani-style dastarkhwan, led by our talented chef Kausar Ahmed.

Dastarkhwan is a traditional dining spread in Pakistani culture, symbolizing hospitality, togetherness, and the joy of sharing a meal. This dinner celebrates the essence of the Dastarkhwan, bringing the rich flavors and stories of Pakistan to the table. Each dish in this dinner reflects Pakistan’s rich culinary history, influenced by its diverse regions and cultures. Pricing includes a wine pairing with each savory course, and tea or coffee with dessert.
